Rathod/Shah Wedding


Working with Nimisha and Gore was such a treat!!! They are the sweetest couple and Gore was one of my most involved grooms EVER!!! He was such support for Nimisha, he actually wanted to help. It was awesome to have a couple that had great vision and personality to match. They actually live in New Jersey so they had to make a few trips down here to MD, but were always ready to come when I needed them.

The weather was a huge concern on their September weekend, but truly all went well and the bride and groom glowed all day and night!! They even managed to get an extra 1/2 hour or so out of the DJ :) Thanks Jag from Event EQ for always taking care of my clients. You go above and beyond each any every event and I truly appreciate that!

We had the ever talented Eli Turner from Freed as the photog for the weekend and as always he rocks!! If you remember he did Nimisha & Gore's Engagement pics in NYC.

So now take a peek at Nimisha & Gore's big day :)

I heart Taylor Creative Props!!!

I can not truly express how incredible the lounge, acrylic tables & chairs and bars that Taylor Creative carries!! They are soooo in tune with what is hot and trendy. Oh how I dream that they were based in DC (they are in NYC and do travel) so that I could use they on a regular basis.

Take a peek at some off their new inventory :)





I mean seriously, how chic are these??







Words can not express how I feel about this table and chair set!!

Oh I can't wait for my 2010 bride that is ready to walk down the path of Taylor Creative with me :)

WHY??

Yes that's the question we as planners get on a regular basis! I had completely forgotten that I had written these answers last year and posted them on my site. I know you are wondering how I forgot, well thats because it was tucked away in my site. So if I hadn't seen it I can imagine inquiring brides hadn't as well.

So here is the answer to that nagging question "Do I need a planners help? If so WHY??"

Why a professional wedding planner is a smart choice

Congratulations! You’re entering the most amazing time of your life, to be honest, probably the most stressful as well.
Many brides get so overwhelmed by the hard work and stress of planning a wedding that they hardly have time to enjoy it. And if you can’t enjoy it, what’s the point? Your wedding should be a blast!

Enjoying this wonderful experience is the single most important item on your to-do list. And that’s where we come in. As professional wedding planners, we have the knowledge, experience and connections to take care of the hard stuff.
Hiring us means you:
• Won’t have to spend days running all over town looking at venues
o A first-time bride will spend at least four to five hours searching for venues
o And then she’ll have to call the six to eight she actually likes, which takes another two or three hours
o Then she has to drive all over town to the three to five places that are available on her day, which adds another five hours…
o That’s a lot of time wasted when you consider a professional wedding planner can immediately narrow down your choices based on budget, capacity, and location
o A wedding planner will also schedule visits and handle the details—but only for the places that match what you’re looking for
• Can skip hours of research into hundreds of options that aren’t right for you
o Just consider the search for a DJ alone. With hundreds of DJs in the DC area, you could easily spend 10 hours trying to figure out which one’s right for your event. And unless you’ve actually worked with them before, you have no idea what you’re going to get. Nobody wants a cheesy, unprofessional DJ to ruin the biggest party of their life!
• Will have full access to our connections, knowledge, advice and experience
• Can be sure that Bridezilla won’t come anywhere near your wedding!
Hiring a wedding planner allows you to, in the words of Thoreau, “seize and enjoy the moment!”
Give us a call to set up a free consultation and find out how working with us can help you realize your dream wedding!

I hope this will help those of you ladies & gents that are wondering if help is needed!
